Punk Recommendations?

post #1 of 29

Thread Starter 
I've become fairly detached from the genre that started me into music and I'd like to get back into it. Can anyone give me recommendations on bands/records? Looking for newer stuff that is still good, but I wouldn't mind older bands I never got into.

Most of the older bands I'm into are the obvious ones - Sex Pistols, Clash, Ramones, Dead Boys, Adicts, Dead Kennedys, Misfits, Refused, Operation Ivy, Damned, Buzzcocks.

Same goes for the newer ones - Rancid, Social Distortion, NOFX, Bouncing Souls, AFI ('99-'03).

I love the ones bolded as well, just forgot to list them down. What Agent Orange album can you recommend? I've only got Living in Darkness.

I'll be sure to check out the others. Thanks!

I'm not the most up to date on the genre either, but some of the lesser known new(ish) punk bands that you might not have already heard:

The Briggs
The Falcon
The Loved Ones
Strike Anywhere

And some older favourites some of which you've probably heard:

Face to Face
Dropkick Murphy's
Descendents
Minutemen

I'm forever catching up on old stuff. A lot of the newer punk based stuff I'm into slides into side genres rather than straight up Punk. Popular modern punk does nothing for me though, nor does a lot of 90s skate punk. Also, I like a lot of darker sounding punk so take my recommendations with that in mind.

Some oldies but some goodies:
The Mob, Zounds, Dirt, Blatz, Germs, UK Decay, Ausgang, Rudimentary Peni, X-Ray Specs, Ritual, Paralisis Permanente, Killing Joke, Birthday Party, Theatre of Hate, Crisis

Newish stuff that I like:
Ciril, Sixteens, The Vanishing, Blaster the Rocketman, Headnoise, The Prids, Subtonix, Lost Sounds... Jeez, I'm going to have to dig through my stuff later to come up with more new stuff.

Agent Orange didn't record much aside from living in darkness and THis is The Voice...if you like that track the Faction down. It's tough to find but so good. The band got it notariety from Steve Caballero on guitar. Caballero is also a member of the Bones Brigade of Tony Hawk fame.

i had a Powell-Peralta Steve Caballero skateboard when i was in high school with Independent trucks and Bones all around... thought i was a badass.

for Agent Orange... This is the Voice is a great California skate punk album, top to bottom. i think i still have it on vinyl somewhere in my parent's attic. i also had their EP ...When You Least Expect It that wasn't great, but it did have fantastic covers of "Somebody to Love" and "Secret Agent Man," both of which my high school band covered (and no one realized they weren't our versions... ).



Suicidal Tendencies' first album is utterly brilliant. after that, they kinda get more into a speed metal sound that never did for me. TSOL kinda got a little too metal, too.



FEAR is f-ing great. their first album gets the most love, but i'm a big fan of their 2nd album, More Beer. nuff said.

I saw Stiff Little Fingers. Blew my ear drums out. I had Tinnitus for a week. Fugazi is awesome live. Ian Mackaye is very nice in person. Lots of great bands in that list. If you like X-Ray Specs have you ever listened to Essential Logic? Its Lora Logic's (the saxophone player in X-Ray Specs) side band after Specs split. I love punk rock with saxophone!
